Rooms 05:57
The room is not only too small It is also kept too hot My time is coming Where I’ll have to fill the room And the hallway seems endless With its banks of fluorescent lights My hand reaches for the doorknob And my body twists inside I keep my promises to myself Rooms, rooms I’ve been counting the days Since I last made a trip to the room The anxiety comes in waves I can feel that I’m going back soon Oh, and I found you in a room You had been in there way too long It was plain as day I could not be the one to lift you up But I could get down with you I keep my promises to myself Rooms, rooms

Winters 05:45
The light in Winters is soft and sweet in the morning The light in Winters will burn your skin in the day The light in Winters will give you peace in the evening The light in Winters gives and gives and gives and gives and gives and gives They came to Winters to pick the vines of the summer They came to Winters the subways pushed them away They came to Winters to trace the tops of the hill line They came to Winters, the fires came there too Where will we go if the fires blow over the hill? Oh hush your soul Hush your soul

about

“goodnight, plum”, the third album from taft, draws power from vulnerability. Performed as a live in-studio concert with minimal overdubs, Taft creates a landscape that is loose and nocturnal, imprinted with eccentricities, presence, and deep emotional space. These performances call to mind the crooning of Sean Nicholas Savage set against rhythms so slack and irregular they would be at home on the earliest Dr. John records. Making “goodnight, plum” was a ritual; a divining of space for the spirit away from the noise of the world. Written in grain silos in Vermont and mountain hideaways in California, these songs ramble freely through complex chord colors, contained and made cogent by the force of Taft’s voice, itself twisting and dissolving like smoke over fire.
